Answer:
Y is a 3-chloro-3-methylpentane.
The structure is shown in the figure attached.
Explanation:
The radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane can lead to a tertiary substituted carbon (Y) and to a secondary one (X).
The E2 elimination mechanism, as shown in the figure, will happen with a simulyaneous attack from the base and elimination of the chlorine. This means that primary and secondary substracts undergo the E2 mechanism faster than tertiary substracts.
Answer: Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L
Explanation:
Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.
The combined gas equation is,

where,
= initial pressure of gas = 751 mm Hg
= final pressure of gas = 495 mm Hg
= initial volume of gas = 340 L
= final volume of gas = ?
= initial temperature of gas = 
= final temperature of gas = 
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:


Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L
A seperation method that would be most successful woth the separation of a salt and water mixture would be evaporation for these reasons, (1) There are no magnetic elements involved with salt nor with water, (2) Observing colour differences would not have much affect on separating the two, and (3) Chromatography is used to separate two liquids, such as speparating two dyes, not salt and water.
Evaporation:
The water will evaporate, leaving you with salt as a solid.
